14[[folder: The Twins]]
15
16The eponymous troublemaking duo. They are 12 years old at the start of the series.
17----
18* AntiHero[=/=]VillainProtagonist: In the books, the twins are {{Villain Protagonist}}s in the first book since in the first book [[spoiler: they steal everyone's pets, disguise them and try to sell them at outrageous prices]] and {{Anti Hero}}es in the rest since the most of the first series revolves around them trying to save their house from being renovated or downright demolished. In the cartoon, [[DependingOnTheWriter it varies from episode to episode, sometimes they are the villains and sometimes anti-heroes]]
19* ArchEnemy: To Stephanie Knightleigh, who loathes them for doing things like ruining school events with their pranking while they hate her stuck up attitude.
20* BrotherSisterTeam: When they're not busy pranking each other they form a great team.
21* ChildProdigy: They are ''very'' smart.
22* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Both have black hair and pasty white skin.
23* EmbarrassingPyjamas: Averted, they have no problem wearing their pyjamas in public.
24* FashionHurts: Complete aversion in their case. As the narration in Rare Beasts states, their pyjamas are very comfortable and they wear them at all times.
25* FreudianExcuse: Their parents abandoned them many years ago and townsfolk never really paid much attention to them, so they had nobody to care about them or teach them right from wrong.
26* FriendlessBackground: Due to their distaste for most Nod's Limbsians, the twins had never made a friend and only hung out with each other before the events of ''Pet's Revenge'', [[spoiler: where Ellen befriends Miles Knightleigh. In ''High Wire'' both twins befriend The Midway Irregulars.]]
27* GadgeteerGenius: Both of the twins to some extent, but especially Edgar. Exaggerated in the animated series, where they build much more elaborate contraptions.
28* HairstyleInertia: They have the same hairstyles since infancy.
29* HalfIdenticalTwins: The only physical difference between them is that Ellen has long hair and no fringe.
30* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: If you don't piss them off, they're actually pretty friendly.
31* LackOfEmpathy: They don't care about anyone outside their circle of friends and don't show much concern if they put their sibling in danger during one of their violent games of hide, seek and subdue.
32* LeanAndMean: Both are scrawny and mean.
33* LimitedWardrobe: Literally all they ever wear is their striped footie pyjamas. Even when they do wear other clothing, they always wear their pyjamas underneath.
34* MessyHair: They are always shown with messy hair.
35* NonStandardCharacterDesign: They have bigger eyes than everyone else, have sharper features and are taller than most kids in their age group.
36* PajamaCladHero: Though they're not exactly heroic, they're always wearing a discolored striped pyjama suit.
37* ParentalAbandonment: The twins' parents apparently left years ago on an around-the-world holiday, and haven't been heard from since. The twins never really questioned this, oddly enough.
38* ThePigPen: The twins don't really bother much with hygiene. Notably, their pyjamas have turned from red and white to grey and nd a rusty shade of red due to not being washed in years.
39* ThePrankster: Their favorite hobby is to prank the Nod's Limbsians and almost anyone who crosses their path.
40* ThemeTwinNaming: Both their names start with the letter "E" and reference author Edgar Allan Poe.
41* TooCleverByHalf: Many of their schemes backfire on them because they overdo them.
42* TookALevelInKindness: They become nicer after befriending Heimertz's younger relatives The Midway Irregulars, Madame Dahlia, who bonded with Ellen over their mutual love for botanic and Augustus Nod, who took the twins in and became a surrogate father to them.
43* TricksterTwins: They are twins who love to pull all sorts of pranks on people and each other.
44* SweetTooth: They just ''love'' candy. They can eat two large bags of chocolate in a matter of minutes.
45* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Seriously you don't want to cross their path or you will end up humiliated or injured.

51 [[caption-width-right:350:In the animated series]]
52
53Ellen's younger twin brother. He is a skilled scientist, inventor and escape artist. He plans many of the twins' schemes and diagrams.

58%%* ButtMonkey: Mostly in the TV series.
59%%* ComplexityAddiction: Sometimes.

61%%* GadgeteerGenius: One of his specialties.
62* TheGreatWhodini: He has a hobby for escape artistry. In one episode, he starts calling himself "The Amazing Edgarini".

64* LargeHam: He can be dramatic, especially in the TV show. In one episode, Ellen even calls him a drama queen.
65%% * MadScientist
66* TalkingToThemself: In ''Split Ends'' he starts doing this after being separated from Ellen for too long and having no one to talk to.

75----
76* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: [[spoiler: In ''Pet's Revenge'' Ellen reveals that she likes "handsome rebels"]].
77%% * AttentionWhore
78* BigSisterBully: Downplayed. She works alongside her brother, but has no problem berating his interests and schemes.
79* BigSisterInstinct: On rare occasions, she looks out for Edgar, like in "Crushed" and "The Great Edgarini"; for the record, she's 2 minutes and 13 seconds older than him.

83* DreadfulMusician: Ellen ''thinks'' she can sing, but to the others she's horrible. When she sings with Edgar in the show's musical numbers, she has a decent singing voice. It's just that ''solo'' singing isn't her forte.
84-->'''Ellen:''' I feel a song coming on.\
85'''Edgar:''' Thanks for the warning. ''(puts earmuffs on)''\
86''([[GlassShatteringSound glass-shattering]] high note ensues)''

88* TheFavourite: It is heavily implied that she is Pet's favorite twin. It is more noticeably in the TV series.
89* FriendToBugs: In the cartoon she complains to Edgar after he sprays her with pesticide, causing several bugs to fall out of her hair and says that they were her friends. Surprising, considering her love of botany.
90* GirlishPigtails: She always wears her hair in pigtails.
91* HairTriggerTemper: She is very temperamental and the most violent of the twins.
92* HatesBeingTouched: In both the books and TV series, she is shown to dislike hugs.

94%% * LittleMissConArtist
95* MadScientist: or rather Mad Botanist since she prefers Botany over science.
96* ManEatingPlant: She has a small one named Berenice, who is small but apparently still able to rip someone's finger off. [[spoiler: When Berenice dies, she gains a smaller one named Morella.]]
97* RealWomenDontWearDresses: She only wore a dress for [[spoiler: Ronan and Dahlia's wedding and politely refused Madame Dahlia's offer of making her dresses to wear for each day of school.]] Otherwise, she stays on her pyjamas all the time.

99%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Stephanie's Girly Girl. Enemies in the books, "frenemies" in the TV show.

117* OnlySaneMan: Sometimes has to act as the middleman when the twins start fighting.
118* MeaningfulRename: The twins named it "Pet" when they found and decided to adopt him.

142* MeaningfulName: He gets his name from St. Ronan the Silent.
143* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Prior to "High Wire" he seemed to be a loner, with Pet as his only company and the twins believed him to be a maniac for his odd behavior and the fact that he was always smiling his trademark smile but he is actually a nice person despite it all.

161%%* LikeASonToMe: Edgar and Ellen.

215* ScareEmStraight: It is implied in ''High Wire'' that she used Gustav to scare the circus children into behaving. It didn't work with Ellen though.

242
243Mayor Knightleigh's 13-year-old daughter.
244----
245* AdaptationalHeroism: In the TV show, she's more of TheRival than an actual villain who isn't that much worse than the main characters, even sometimes [[EnemyMine teaming up with]] them or [[FriendlyEnemy having some respectful interactions with them.]]

253* FieryRedhead: She has orange red hair and has quite a temper, especially when she is anywhere near Edgar and Ellen.
254* FriendlyEnemy: On her good days in the TV show. On a deeper level, one episode even focused on Edgar and Ellen coming to the realization that if Stephanie was gone, their lives would be empty without her and their rivalry.
255* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Her favorite color is "Cheery Lavender" and her clothing is all shades of purple.
256* TheDeterminator: She will stop at ''nothing'' to get what she wants, especially getting rid of her twin rivals ''one way or the other''.
257* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She seems to care about her little brother at least a bit.
258* EvenBadWomenLoveTheirMamas: She [[WellDoneDaughterGirl craved her mother's approval]] since she (albeit unwillingly) helped Judith with her plans.

262* LongHairIsFeminine: In the TV series it is shown that her hair reaches her knees when it's wet and she is very feminine.

264%% * ManipulativeBitch
265* {{Narcissist}}: She has various glamour portraits of herself all over her room.

269%%* PimpedOutDress: Her ball gown in the TV series.
270* RegalRinglets: Stephanie has those and, being rich and the mayor's daughter, spent her entire life as a upper class citizen [[spoiler: until she was banished from Nod's Limbs and after becoming poor her hair suffered considerable damage since she couldn't afford to care for it although it is implied that she was faking being poor and miserable in order to keep suspicious away since she was secretly working with Ormond Heimertz.]]
271%%* RichBitch: [[spoiler: Until the end of ''Nod's Limbs''.]]
272* TheRunaway: In "Hot Air". [[spoiler: She runs away to join Ormond in his plans of collecting Balm and getting rid of the twins.]]
